The Cavium bootmem descriptors

[Andrew Duane]

Does anyone out there have any experience with these? They are used for Octeon chips, for U-Boot to tell the kernel about physical memory at startup. I need to synthesize one, and there is effectively no documentation at all on the format. Looking at the U-Boot code is extremely difficult to make any sense of. I'm hoping someone has a simple description of the layout I can work with.

Failing that, if someone is using Octeon evaluation boards and U-Boot with -CURRENT, perhaps they would run some test code for me?
